Amid the barrage of calls, Peliczowski, played by 色色研究所 graduate student Andrew Stroud, must juggle his own needs, including the demands of his recently widowed dad and trying to preparing for a choice part at Lincoln Center鈥攚hile contending with scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses.
